Coach Zinnbauer is likely to keep his faith in the Ghana international despite his costly mistake in the draw against Baroka FC last weekend.
The 29-year-old has cemented his place in the Bucs starting line-up with some consistent displays.
The Witbank-born defender is likely to return to the starting line-up after being surprisingly dropped ahead of the clash with Baroka.
The accomplished centre-back is now a key player in the Pirates defence and he seems undroppable at the moment.
The Pirates captain could start ahead of Ntsikelelo Nyauza with the Buccaneers having failed to keep a clean sheet in their last two matches.
Pirates missed the experienced midfielder's work-rate last weekend and he is most likely to be recalled to the starting line-up.
The box-to-box midfielder is another player who was dropped against Bakgaga Ba Mphahlele and he could also return to the starting line-up.
The diminutive playmaker was among Pirates' best players against Baroka and he is likely to be rewarded with another starting berth.
The Zimbabwe international could keep his place in the starting line-up having scored the only goal of the match as Pirates defeated City in the MTN8 two months ago.
The in-form centre forward is expected to lead Pirates' attack having come off the bench to score against SuperSport United and Baroka in recent times.
